V LEVEL
CONVERTER
.
e
IF OUT JACK
(p. 40)
Outputs a 10.7 MHz IF signal with 9 V DC for an op-
tional TV-R7100
TV RECEIVE ADAPTER
.
r
AGC JACK
(pgs. 16, 40)
This jack has functions which are selectable through
internal receiver settings.
•Outputs an AGC signal for an optional TV-R7100
TV RE
-
CEIVE ADAPTER
(default).
•Outputs audio detected signal without de-emphasis for
9600 bps data detection (FM mode only).
t
DC 13.8 V JACK
(p. 8)
Plug in the jumper connector here when using the
supplied* AC adapter.
Connects to a 13.8 V DC power source using the
supplied DC cable when the AC adapter is not
connected.
*Not supplied with some versions.
y
EXTERNAL SPEAKER JACK
Connects an 8
Ω
external speaker.
•When an external speaker is connected, the internal
speaker does not function.
u
DC IN JACK
(p. 8)
Connects the supplied* AC adapter.
• A regulator circuit has been designed between this con-
nector and the DC 13.8 V jack.
•Be sure the jumper connector is connected to the DC
13.8 V jack.
*Not supplied with some versions.
i
HF 50
Ω
ANTENNA CONNECTOR
(p. 8)
